Text (summary):

A devastating tree disease has been detected in the Mad River Ranger District of the Six Rivers National Forest. Officials will host a pair of meetings to inform the public on what measures are being taken to combat Sudden Oak Death before it ravages these local forests.

Officials will share proposed treatments, how sudden oak death operates in a forest, and what symptoms to watch out for.

Sudden oak death is responsible for substantial destruction of many oak tree species since the mid 1990s.

These species are important members of the ecosystem and are also culturally significant to Northern California tribes.

Attendees will be asked to share ideas, concerns and brainstorm solutions to the problem.

“Our public are eyes and ears on the ground and they need to know what we’re planning on doing to help curb the disease now and perhaps do some measures that we want to keep the disease from spreading off of public land and onto private land,” said Peggi Lawrence of Six Rivers National Forest.
